Aboriginal Family and the State examines the contemporary relations and history of Indigenous families in Australia, specifically referencing issues of government control and recent official recognition of Aboriginal ’traditional owners’. With a rich discussion of the production, practice and inscription of social relations, this volume examines everyday expressions of ’family’, and events such as meetings and funerals, demonstrating that kinship is formed and reformed through a complicated social practice of competing demands on identity.
